Stealing Heaven

My name is Danielle. I'm eighteen. I've been stealing things for as long as I can remember. Dani has been trained as a thief by the best there is-her mother. They never stay in one place long enough for Dani to have real connections, real friends-a real life. But in the town of Heaven, everything changes. Suddenly, Dani must question where her loyalties lie: with the life she's always known-or the one she's always wanted.

"With characters ranging from the insincerely charming to the charmingly sincere, Stealing Heaven just may steal your heart." -- A. M. Jenkins, author of Damage "Scott tells a surprising story...Dani is a brave teen who can and does shape a strong future for herself. " -- Booklist "The fast-paced, conversational first-person narration makes for good escapist entertainment." -- Kirkus Reviews "Dani, with her witty dialogue, gives a new perspective full of hope to YAs who feel trapped between family and friends." -- KLIATT "This blend of old-fashioned love story with lively contemporary details will satisfy readers fond of a solid summer romance." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Deceptively touching...the twist of a family of thieves gives the story originality." -- School Library Journal

Elizabeth Scott grew up in a town so small it didn't even have a post office, though it did boast an impressive cattle population. She's sold hardware and panty hose and had a memorable three-day stint in the dot-com industry, where she learned that she really didn't want a career burning CDs. She lives just outside Washington, DC, with her husband; firmly believes you can never own too many books; and would love it if you visited her website, www.elizabethwrites.com.
